    Chevy Colorado with a camper?

    Another thing to consider is frame flex. Some trucks flex wayy more than others. If camper is close fitting & anchored down & frame flex's too much, something will bend or break. I have know guys with older full size trucks that have had this issue as well. "I'm pretty sure the only way to get...

    Power Wagon common problems? Best years?

    First of all, I am not defending any year Power Wagon. Mine happens to be a 2008 w/G56 manual trans. I absolutely LOVE my truck. I have never had the "death wobble". It did wander though and that has NOT changed. There are threads with 2015's, 2016's, 2017's wandering as well & plenty of them...

    In search of the perfect can opener.

    Yes sir, P51 will outlast us all. So will the P38 but it is small. P51 works soooo much better/faster. Mine have been in use since 1981. No failures. And, you can get 100 of them for $40. Put some everywhere. Give to friends. etc....

    Just ordered......Took delivery of....

    Put the 50qt ARB fridge in the back & took my mom shopping. Plugged it into the 120v plug. Less than 30 min later, it was at 31*F. Went all over, put the food in the fridge. She thought it was the neatest thing since sliced bread. LOL

    Just ordered......Took delivery of....

    New tires already. This vehicle feels REALLY solid. I am initially impressed. New tires are Cooper Discovery ST/MAXX in 265/70/17 Load Range E. Ride nice, the little bit of tire noise does not bother me or the wife at all. A wheel stud broke off while they were hand torquing them to 81 ft...

I love it. Been on for 2+ years now & still no leaks, i have not removed it since it was installed. I...

    Great ground tents

    Anyone needing a great ground tent ? They are on super sale at Cabela's. The Alaskan Guide tents are on sale cheaper than I have ever seen them. We ordered 2 of them. 1 for my wife & me & 1 for our daughter. The gift she wanted for her College graduation, & it was on super sale---what are the...

    3rd Gen Tacoma PSA/Heads up

    IMHO, the problem would be if it was saying you were going faster than you were. The mileage would rack up faster. Then, your warranty would come to an end sooner. I'd sure have a problem with that.

    Just ordered......Took delivery of....

    I absolutely agree. That was a deal breaker for us. We did NOT want a sunroof. Especially around here. Stuff gets in & plugs up the drains, then they back up & leak. Buffalo winters don't help either. Plus, why would anyone who was gonna use the roof rack want one ? One slip loading a bike or...

    Just ordered......Took delivery of....

    Thanks everyone. Gotta be honest here, it is my wife's vehicle so mods will be slow and probably few. We both just retired. Money will be tight for a while until the kids sink or swim on their own. I decided to keep rockin my 08' Dodge Power Wagon w/G56. Only has 45k on her. It's gonna be...

    Advice on what truck to purchase? Crew cab vs suburban for family of 4+dog adventures

    I was also in that dilemma at one point. Started out with a 2000 Dakota 4 door, 360 5.9L V-8 gas, 3.92's & pulled a Coleman 3000lb tent camper. Went to a 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 4 door short box, 5.7L Hemi 545RFE auto trans & 4.10's. Now have a 2008 Dodge Power Wagon w/G56 & pull a 18' camper...
